[pianotech] Lyre Damage

[Greg Newell]

Spread out over almost the entire length of the keybed I find this a much
more appealing sacrifice than using the relatively small area provided by
the lyre itself. The contact area, if used correctly is the front of the
keybed with the tool starting at the left leg side and running along the
length close to the front. This should have very little chance of driving
the drop screws into the pin block I'd say.

I don't have one, but yes. It's a very slick system.

You mean, like sitting on the piano horse - on the key bed?
